   2 corrections applied: The UC Davis researcher behind the music-evoked autobiographical memory / mPFC work is Petr Janata, not Stefan; reference list cites 'Janata, P.' | Panksepp's 'chills' study was published in 1995 in Music Perception, not 1993; matches the article's reference list.

   Before

   Stefan Janata at UC Davis has shown that the medial prefrontal cortex... In 1993, neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp published an unusual survey.

   After

   Petr Janata at UC Davis has shown that the medial prefrontal cortex... In 1995, neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp published an unusual survey.

   Why: Verified both fixes are live in the article body and bibliography: researcher correctly named Petr Janata (matching the reference list entry 'Janata, P. (2009)'), and the Panksepp chills study correctly dated 1995 (matching the reference list entry 'Panksepp, J. (1995)... Music Perception'). No stale occurrences found in the FAQ. Backfilling record with confirmed correct text; no further edits needed.
